Nannying

I have had nannying as a hustle since I can remember, for a young girl growing up it starts as "babysitting" and when you begin to drive, its called nannying, becuase you turn into a shuttle for children. I love kids, I have two younger sisters growing up and always felt as a second mom to them, the feeling of being a leader and role model was always there for me since birth. Children are so imaginative and make you rember what it is to be young at heart. Right now I nanny two girls, ages 8 and eleven, and they really have old souls. They are very fun to nanny for they like to be creative, make crafts and play pretend, very good pretend. The eight year old randomly while I watch them, will say something like, "I'm going to go be a lawyer in court". She will then go upstairs and dress in a "formal" outfit, complete with her moms short heeled shoes, come back down and begin. I actually watched as she placed a butter knife from the kitchen drawer and placed in a freezer size ziplock bag, and write "murder knif" on it with a marker, in little kid handwriting. She then actually had a little judge and jury activity she got into, all "my father murdered my mother with the knife, and I found it near the bushes with blood trails!" lol. She actually acts like I am not there, and she is in her whole nother' world, unless she involves me in it randomly, I watch as if its a play. This actually went down today as I watched them from 7 am- 5:30 pm. The older one went upstairs to read, lol, when do you hear that now a days? really... I love it. So the younger one walks over and places a rubber bouncy ball, the ones you can get anywhere even at a grocery store, on her mothers decorative vase. She then closes her eyes and begins to move her hands around it, all Miss Cleo like, and I watch her begin her little world. She then announces how she needs to get her "fortune telling outfit on" and goes upstairs". She comes back down and she has on a silvery dressup like halloween dress, tied at the waist, her bat wings, and she has drawn brown makeup around her eyes, with a cross on her forehead. "This is great", I think, for I too was a young girl who would get into my imagination and make up little world adventures too. She then told me she saw me going somewhere in life where I never saw my family again, but I was rich and had a lot of friends", and I was thinking, "hell yeah, this girl is onto something". She then said she was a magic witch and people were after her "mortals" she later refered lol, and she needed to call her people. So, I was sucked in, and I put on one of her sheaths of cloth and wrapped in into a dress and grabbed a pair of wings, because, why the hell not! I'm getting paid for this ?! lol yes! She brings out her mothers neat looking blue stained glass vase and fills in with water, saying it was our "witch wine".
